    On this new site Im putting up this page:

    https://murraytails.com/murray-blog/

    Has a blog layout and is set to show only the category ‘blog’ but it is showing posts from the category Events which is functioning properly and showing only those posts here:

    Can’t figure why the blog page also shows events posts.

    Hey tonyiatridis,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    We have set the Enfold > Blog Layout > Blog Layout settings to “Use the Advanced Layout Builder”, so the blog now utilizes the content created in the builder. It should now correctly display posts that are configured or selected in the Blog Posts element.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Ok that worked for that site wherein the blog posts are in the default not advanced building mode. My question however is how do Iget this to work and have the posts show everything till a read more link when the posts are in the advanced editor.

    On this page:

    I have the same post twice, the one made with the default editor does what I need but the advanced one shows an excerpt and ignores the read more link I need the image to appear on the blog page as well as the individual post page. While I could just use the default editor in many cases I need to put a slider or other element on the post page showing several images but when I do that it ignores the layout and just goes a text excerpt whether that slider would be at the top or not.

    Can the blog page display the posts to a read more break when using the advanced editor?

    Hi,
    The Read More tag will only work in the WP editor, not in the ALB, the ALB was intended for pages.
    To add a slider to the top of a WP editor post, in the Block Editor, click on the “Classic” block above your post:
    classic_block
    then click on the Shortcode Wand Tool to show the elements and choose the slider:
    wand_tool
    you will be prompted with the element builder, when you save you will see the shortcode:
    wand_shortcode
    Then save the post, on the frontend the slider will show below the featured image:
    shortcode_slider_frontend
    and on the blog page with the Blog Posts element:
    shortcode_slider_frontend_blog_page

    Best regards,
    Mike
